They had not rejoiced in a super-g world champion for 34 years, when Maria Walliser triumphed at home, in Crans-Montana 1987. And the same did not happen downhill from Vail ''89, when the same protagonist won her third world title. It is Corinne Suter who succeeds her in the roll of honor of the Swiss home as regards the queen discipline, with the Swiss champions who paint the whole of Cortina red-cross, at least in speed races.
After the silver of Are behind Ilka Stuhec and with three world medals around her neck, today Corinne has made poker taking the most precious metal. “It was the perfect match - declared the winner to Rai Sport - I felt good from the morning and I attacked even more than in super-g. It's so exciting ... ”.
Clear analysis, and even a bit bitter, that of Lara Gut-Behrami who is wearing the second medal (seventh overall) in this World Cup, but was aiming decisively for gold. "I'm happy to have confirmed myself, but I gain a little bit for the mistake committed at the Delta curve - said the Ticino champion with the usual frankness - If there is anyone who deserves this title, it's Corinne, she made a amazing finish ".
